The Animex day was a great stimulus for the Y2 children to develop and practise their coding skills to create a short animation. We used the fun children’s book, The Queen’s Knickers, as a base for our animation. First, we created a story board to outline the main four events of the narrative. We then selected a female sprite for the Queen and a male sprite for the butler who searches desperately to find the Queen’s missing knickers trunk. The children loved using Scratch to design their own version of a story that they have loved reading this year.
Good afternoon,
Welcome back after the half term holidays.
We have had an amazing week for opportunities and experiences for the children this week. Year 4 had a full day workshop on the ancient Mayan civilisation linked to history. Year 6 took part in a wheelchair basketball workshop which they loved. 8 children attended the laying of the first poppy at the cenotaph in Middlesbrough. Finally, today year 5 went on a visit to Washington wetlands linked to their work in science.
Well done to all of our core value champions who were celebrated for showing Respect throughout the week. A big shout out to our attendance champions this week 3B with 98.6%.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Our Year 6 pupils have celebrated the end of their time at Brambles with our annual camping trip to Lordstones Country Park. This involved three days and two nights spent enjoying the North York Moors National Park. The children arrived on Monday morning and promptly set up the campsite with all tents and equipment they would need to live outdoors for the time period. Over the three days, the children covered over 10 miles of walking with a particularly long walk on the second day taking in the North Yorkshire Three Peaks from Lordstones over to the Wainstones and back. In addition to the walking, the children took part in a host of other activities including weaseling through rocks, team-building challenges, and even a talent competition. It was a fantastic adventure and a great way for them to celebrate after all their hard work throughout year 6.

This year EYFS took part in Sports Day together. We split into teams and enjoyed taking part in eight different activities. We had egg and spoon races, welly throwing, and water collecting to name just a few! Nursery and Reception children all took part and the staff were so proud of everyone. It was lovely to have Parents, Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles to come and watch – they were great at cheering the children on!
Key Stage 1 and 2 sports days were split over two days but all children were involved in a wide range of races and activities that ranges from running and jumping to throwing and shuffling. It was a fantastic day enjoyed by all and it was brilliant to have parents and carers back to see the children enjoying sports outdoors.

Brambles celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee in true Brambles style. We started the day with a whole school assembly to celebrate our Jubilee Crown competition. Children across the whole academy were invited to make a Crown at home to bring into school. It was a difficult decision trying to pick winners however, each year group had a very worthy winner each winning a prize. The children decorated the corridors with bunting, and paper chains, and made flags. Each year group celebrated a decade from the Queen’s reign working together to create a special poster. At lunchtime, we had a whole school outdoor picnic with music playing. The atmosphere was fantastic – especially when all of the children joined in singing ‘Sweet Caroline’. In the afternoon we split the time so everyone had a turn playing games on the field – mini golf, ring toss, and limbo to name a few – then a craft session making a carriage for the Queen, a lolly stick soldier, and an Andy Warhol inspired collage of the Queen. Each child in school received a very special keepsake book and button badge to remember the day. The children thoroughly enjoyed the learning that took place and the celebrations to finish the half term.
